Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly detected by termites and avoided. So they provide good protection for treated areas. If not all areas are treated, or the treated areas become disrupted, white ants can recognise the gaps and gain access through them.

Bifenthrin is a regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual life span of as much as five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non repellent chemicals are not identified by termites, and so they do not steer clear of the treated areas. As a result of this, white ants will go over the chemical and die as a result of contact with it. Individual termites pass the chemical onto other colony members, resulting in a flow on result.

Because the termites don’t detect these non repellent chemicals, they can’t tell treated from untreated areas, and are much less likely to gain ingress via possible gaps.

Fipronil is the most widely used non repellent on the market, and features a residual lifetime of as much as eight years.

Understanding Termite Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from the building by positioning bait stations directly on termite evidence, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix rather than the timber they are attacking. This kills the termites that ingest the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed that bait to fellow colony members.

In this manner, the nest can be eliminated even when the position of the colony is unknown. The stations should be monitored and assessed regularly in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the addition of new bait stations, or if they should be moved.

While In Ground Systems are used in a similar way, they are typically placed throughout the property to provide an early warning and interception system. These systems are particularly useful where the home design means that an effective perimeter barrier is hard to install.
